Hi all I'm working on a companion website to these forums and am looking for anyone who feels they can contribute to make it as good as possible. Seldane is helping me out with some info and a lot of images already, but there is an awful lot of knowledge on Ys in these forums and it seems daft not to tap into it. Things that may be needed are: - Reviews / Story overviews / Gameplay descriptions of each of the Ys games from 1 - 6, experience of multiple versions would be great. - Screenshots of the various games on different machines - Cover scans and other interesting artwork i.e. ads, game manual images etc. - Reviews / Descriptions of various Ys music CD releases - Information on various characters and places in the Ys world - Scans of the original Ys I Manga that I didn't buy when I had the chance (curse my stupid brain) - Anything else of interest that you think you can offer, even fan art if you like! It may sound like I'm trying to get everyone else to to all the work for me but these are just ideas and the quicker I can get the hard bits together (i.e. the writing), the quicker the site can go up. If you want to contribute, you must be able to write decent English and be able to string sentances together in a coherent and semi-intelligent matter. I'm not looking for Shakespeare (he was overrated anyway) but I don't want to put up articles that sound like 1337 speak. If you can help, post back here, or send me a PM on this forum.

I can still give you those wallpapers if you want... better to put it on a Ys theme page then on a "nothing" page I'm sure I've got some other images and mp3 you can use. Heck, somehow I have Ys scores for piano! First Steps Towards War, Feena and another one....

Just letting you know, I'm almost finished with screenshots from every Ys game (that includes the different versions).
I also have part of the Ys IV: Mask of the sun manga.

Hehe, I have ALL of the Mask of the Sun Manga CrazyJo82, if you mean those official Falcom wallpapers then I probably have all of them already. Screenshot wise, apart from samples of different versions, screenshotted intros and images (such as shop pictures) would be handy. No PC Engine stuff though,I have plenty of access to that myself. Although if anyone can rip the graphics from the PC Engine games (especially Ys4( that would be very nice indeed...

One thing I need the most of is information on Ys 5 and 6 which I have little to no experience of. Character descriptions, plot outlines and things like that.

They are probably official... it's the ones I posted a while back.
Let me know if you want the piano solo scores.

Arr, one thing I thought of that I really DO need is screen grabs from the Ys Anime DVDs. I've got them but my DVD-Rom is locked to region 2 so I can't play them on the PC to get grabs. Pics of the main charas and any cool action shots from each DVD would be nice

Thanks, that would be excellent. A couple of screenies of the DVD menus would be nice as well

I trust your judgement Some character shots, and any cool shots during the action will be fine.

Perhaps a fan art section would be cool?
Just a suggestion....

Hi, I'm new here, but i'd love to see a nice Ys website to accompany the forum especially since most of the fansites seem to have dissapeared. Actually, I'd toyed with the idea to do one for awhile to simply get some web design experience (my background is print design) but never got around to it. Anyway, I'd love to help out in any way I can. I could take some pics of the few Ys collectibles I've got (it's not much). I'd also love a fan art section and would gladly contribute.

Yep, Fan Art is one of the ideas I had for the site. All I need is some actual fan art to put on it so get drawing you lot!
Pics of Ys collectibles would be great. Let me know what you have.

I'd love to help, but I'm new to the Ys games and don't really have anything from the Ys series.

Well playing WOrld of Warcraft every spare minute I have is not helping matters I may get to a point soon where I let it loose as an work in progress and just add to it as I go along. That's probably the best way to encourage contributions too.
